The couple: Ross Patterson, (32) a spray painter from Wishaw, and Margaret Claire Carrey (28) a carer originally from Bridge of Weir, met on a dating website in 2007. They were engaged on Valentine’s Day 2008 after Margaret popped the question.

The wedding: Rock fans Ross and Margaret tied the knot at Colville Park Country Club in Motherwell in front of 50 close family and friends. The meal and evening reception were also at Colville Park.

The happy pair day took time out of their special day to visit their eight-week-old son Drake at Wishaw General Hospital. The tot was born 14 weeks premature and was unable to leave the hospital. Ross and Margaret were desperate for their son to be at their wedding but knew he wasn’t fit enough and decided they would spend time with him after the ceremony.

Bridal Party: The bridesmaids were Stacey Carrey and Amy Patterson. The best man was Gary Patterson and the usher was four-year-old Adrian Carrey.
